14. Beethoven's technique to overcome his deafness
Unlike the ones above, this isn't an illustration of an animal-like human. But it does illustrate how Beethoven was able to create music despite being deaf.
Sound transmission happens in two ways. One is by air vibration and the other is by bone vibration
Beethoven was able to make music because of a thing called bone conduction. It's similar to what dolphins do underwater.

Hybrids of animals and humans are nothing new in the scientific world.
They're no longer just for expressing one's creativity. In fact, scientists are already looking into such developments so that they can produce the necessary organs for transplants.
The list of organ donors is becoming long in recent years. There are not just enough donors for people who need them in time.
Japan's Medical Xpress reports that the country recently voided the ban on creating human-animal hybrids. It approved the appeal of experts from the University of Tokyo to produce a human-mouse hybrid.
The objective of these scientists is to let the human pancreas grow within a mouse. While this isn't similar to the fusion of mice with people, science is getting closer to creating a real-life chimera.
Naturally, such research is often questioned ethically. People want to draw the line between what's morally good and what's not.
If you think about the results alone, you'll see that the purpose of such studies is to save more people. However, people are dangerously close to interfering with nature in ways that our conscience cannot accept.
